Today, we dive into the incredible journey of Elin Nordegren, the Swedish-born model and ex-wife of golf legend Tiger Woods, whose life has been a testament to resilience and strength.

Born in Stockholm to a politician mother and journalist father, Elin started modeling in 2000 before working as a nanny, where she met Woods through Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik. Despite initial hesitation, she and Tiger fell in love, marrying in a lavish 2004 Barbados ceremony. However, their marriage unraveled in 2009 amid Woods’ highly publicized infidelity scandal, leading to their divorce in 2010, where Elin reportedly received $100 million. Determined to build a fulfilling life, Elin focused on her education, earning a psychology degree with a 3.96 GPA from Rollins College in 2014 while raising their two children and co-parenting amicably with Woods. She reflected on how her parents’ own divorce taught her the value of healthy co-parenting, a principle she applied with Tiger, whom she now considers one of her best friends. Elin’s resilience shone as she navigated media scrutiny, new relationships, and personal growth, including a romance with billionaire Chris Cline until 2017.
